During a recent privacy and data-security conference in Israel, industry leaders explored the implications of Amendment 13 to Israel’s Privacy Protection Law and discussed how organizations can address emerging risks associated with the deployment of advanced AI.
Adv. Vered Zlaikha, Partner and Head of Cyber and AI Practice at Lipa & Co law firm said, “Amendment 13 is a genuine game-changer, not just a technical update. While it introduces several substantial provisions, the real development lies in enforcement. For the first time, the Privacy Protection Authority (PPA) has been granted meaningful powers to impose financial sanctions and take concrete action against violators. This means that every company in Israel must recognize that violations are no longer theoretical; they now carry a tangible price.”
Zlaikha noted that before the amendment took effect, companies were fined for scanning ID cards or failing to remove users from direct mailing lists. “Now,” she added, “the penalties can reach much higher sums.”
